WW3 Buildup: China Escalates Tensions In Asia's Water Wars

Tensions over water are rising in Asia – and not only because of conflicting maritime claims. While
territorial disputes, such as in the South China Sea, attract the most
attention – after all, they threaten the safety of sea lanes and freedom
of navigation, which affects outside powers as well – the strategic ramifications of competition over transnationally shared freshwater resources are just as ominous.Asia has less fresh water per capita than any other continent, and it is already facing a water crisis that, according to an MIT study, will continue to intensify, with severe water shortages expected by 2050. At
a time of widespread geopolitical discord, competition over freshwater
resources could emerge as a serious threat to long-term peace and
stability in Asia.

Already, the battle is underway, with China as the main aggressor.
Indeed, China’s territorial grab in the South China Sea has been
accompanied by a quieter grab of resources in transnational river
basins. Reengineering cross-border riparian flows is integral to China’s
strategy to assert greater control and influence over Asia.China is certainly in a strong position to carry out this strategy.
The country enjoys unmatched riparian dominance, with 110 transnational
rivers and lakes flowing into 18 downstream countries. China also has
the world’s most dams, which it has never hesitated to use to curb
cross-border flows. In fact, China’s dam builders are targeting most of
the international rivers that flow out of Chinese territory.
Most of China’s internationally shared water resources are located on the Tibetan Plateau,
which it annexed in the early 1950s. Unsurprisingly, the plateau is the
new hub of Chinese dam building. Indeed, China’s 13th five-year plan,
released this year, calls for a new wave of dam projects on the Plateau.
Moreover, China recently cut off the flow of a tributary of the
Brahmaputra River, the lifeline of Bangladesh and northern India, to
build a dam as part of a major hydroelectric project in Tibet. And the
country is working to dam another Brahmaputra tributary, in order to
create a series of artificial lakes.
China has also built six mega-dams on the Mekong River, which flows into Southeast Asia,
where the downstream impact is already visible. Yet, instead of curbing
its dam-building, China is hard at work building several more Mekong
dams.Likewise, water supplies in largely arid Central Asia are
coming under further pressure as China appropriates a growing volume of
water from the Illy River. Kazakhstan’s Lake Balkhash is now at
risk of shrinking substantially, much like the Aral Sea – located on
the border with Uzbekistan – which has virtually dried up in less than
40 years. China is also diverting water from the Irtysh, which supplies
drinking water to Kazakhstan’s capital Astana and feeds Russia’s Ob
River.
For Central Asia, the diminished transboundary flows are just one part of the problem. China’s
energy, manufacturing, and agricultural activities in sprawling
Xinjiang are having an even greater impact, as they contaminate the
waters of the region’s transnational rivers with hazardous chemicals and
fertilizers, just as China has done to the rivers in its Han heartland.Of course, China is not the only country stoking conflict over water.
As if to underscore that the festering territorial dispute in Kashmir
is as much about water as it is about land, Pakistan has, for the second
time this decade, initiated international arbitral tribunal proceedings
against India under the terms of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. The
paradox here is that downstream Pakistan has used that treaty – the
world’s most generous water-sharing deal, reserving for Pakistan more
than 80% of the waters of the six-river Indus system – to sustain its
conflict with India.
Meanwhile, landlocked Laos – aiming to export hydropower, especially to China, the
mainstay of its economy – has just notified its neighbors of its
decision to move ahead with a third controversial project, the
912-megawatt Pak Beng dam. It previously brushed aside regional concerns
about the alteration of natural-flow patterns to push ahead with the
Xayaburi and Don Sahong dam projects. There is no reason to expect a
different outcome this time.The consequences of growing water competition in Asia will reverberate beyond the region.
Already, some Asian states, concerned about their capacity to grow
enough food, have leased large tracts of farmland in Sub-Saharan Africa,
triggering a backlash in some areas. In 2009, when South Korea’s Daewoo
Logistics Corporation negotiated a deal to lease as much as half of
Madagascar’s arable land to produce cereals and palm oil for the South
Korean market, the ensuing protests and military intervention toppled a
democratically elected president.
The race to appropriate water resources in Asia is straining agriculture and fisheries, damaging ecosystems, and fostering dangerous distrust and discord across the region. It must be brought to an end. Asian countries need to clarify the region’s increasingly murky hydropolitics. The key will be effective dispute-resolution mechanisms and agreement on more transparent water-sharing arrangements.Asia can build a harmonious, rules-based water management
system. But it needs China to get on board. At least for now, that does
not seem likely.

Japan scrambles jets as Chinese warplanes fly near Okinawa

The Chinese military has conducted air force drills in the western Pacific close to Beijing’s regional rivals Japan and Taiwan on Friday and Saturday. The Japanese Air Force scrambled fighter jets to shadow the Chinese planes.

On Friday, Chinese
military planes flew through the Bashi Channel that separates Taiwan and
the Philippines. Later on Saturday, the planes passed through the
Miyako Strait near Japan's Okinawa island, which hosts a large portion
of the US military troops stationed in the country.
The Chinese Air Force said the annual drills went as scheduled and “are not aimed at any specific country, region or target.”“Organizing
the air corps to carry out exercises far at sea is a normal thing to do
for the air forces of countries which border the ocean,” the Chinese military statement said.

Beijing didn’t specify the types and missions of the planes
involved in the drill. According to the Japanese military, the exercise
near Okinawa involved two Su-30 fighters, two H-6 bombers, and two
signal intelligence aircraft.
The two fighters entered the
passageway from the direction of the South China Sea, met the bombers
and surveillance aircraft returning from the Philippine Sea, and
convoyed them back to China, Tokyo reported.
A similar exercise
was conducted by China in September. Beijing announced at the time that
it would organize regular military flights past what China calls the
first island chain – which lies between mainland China and the western
Pacific, and includes Japan’s Ryukyu Islands and the self-governed
Chinese island of Taiwan.
China is asserting its influence in the
region by investing into military assets and projecting power towards
its neighbors. In 2013, it declared an air defense identification zone
over the East China Sea, drawing rebuke from nations opposing its
ambitions.

Archbishop Lefebvre

“This Second Vatican Council Reform, since it has issued from Liberalism and from Modernism, is entirely corrupt; it comes from heresy and results in heresy, even if all its acts are not formally heretical. It is thus impossible for any faithful Catholic who is aware of these things to adopt this Reform, or to submit to it in any way at all. To ensure our salvation, the only attitude of fidelity to the Church and to Catholic doctrine, is a categorical refusal to accept the Reform.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

“And we have the precise conviction that this new rite of Mass expresses a new faith, a faith which is not ours, a faith which is not the Catholic Faith. This New Mass is a symbol, is an expression, is an image of a new faith, of a Modernist faith. ….Now it is evident that the new rite, if I may say so, supposes another conception of the Catholic religion-another religion.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

That Conciliar Church is a schismatic Church, because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship, all already condemned by the Church in many a document, official and definitive.... The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church...

Vatican II = Heretical & Schismatic

Exposing Vatican II & New Mass, Fr. Villa

Archbishop Lefebvre

“Well, we are not of this religion. We do not accept this new religion. We are of the religion of all time; we are of the Catholic religion. We are not of this 'universal religion' as they call it today-this is not the Catholic religion any more. We are not of this Liberal, Modernist religion which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, the 'ecumenical Bible'-these things we do not accept."

The Real 3rd Secret of Fatima

Inlcudes Vatican II and the soon Apostate Church..."...because Fatima is a very apocalyptic message. It says that no matter what happens there are going to be terrible wars, there are going to be diseases, whole nations are going to be wiped out, there are going to be 3 days darkness, there are going to be epidemics that will wipe out whole nations overnight, parts of the earth will be washed away at sea and violent tornadoes and storms. It's not a nice message at all." Fr Malachi Martin

Pope XII: “Suicide Of Altering the Faith In Her Liturgy…..”

"I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past."A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him?'"

St. Bernard:

Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, "Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice, brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!

How secure, I say, is life when death is anticipated without fear; or rather when it is desired with feeling and embraced with reverence! How holy and secure this knighthood and how entirely free of the double risk run by those men who fight not for Christ! Whenever you go forth, O worldly warrior, you must fear lest the bodily death of your foe should mean your own spiritual death, or lest perhaps your body and soul together should be slain by him.

Indeed, danger or victory for a Christian depends on the dispositions of his heart and not on the fortunes of war. If he fights for a good reason, the issue of his fight can never be evil; and likewise the results can never be considered good if the reason were evil and the intentions perverse. If you happen to be killed while you are seeking only to kill another, you die a murderer. If you succeed, and by your will to overcome and to conquer you perchance kill a man, you live a murderer. Now it will not do to be a murderer, living or dead, victorious or vanquished. What an unhappy victory--to have conquered a man while yielding to vice, and to indulge in an empty glory at his fall when wrath and pride have gotten the better of you!

But what of those who kill neither in the heat of revenge nor in the swelling of pride, but simply in order to save themselves? Even this sort of victory I would not call good, since bodily death is really a lesser evil than spiritual death. The soul need not die when the body does. No, it is the soul which sins that shall die.

The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer, he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not perished, but has come safely into port.

Once he finds himself in the thick of battle, this knight sets aside his previous gentleness, as if to say, "Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord; am I not disgusted with your enemies?" These men at once fall violently upon the foe, regarding them as so many sheep. No matter how outnumbered they are, they never regard these as fierce barbarians or as awe-inspiring hordes. Nor do they presume on their own strength, but trust in the Lord of armies to grant them the victory.

Saint Athanasius

"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith?The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True, the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ..."You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day. "Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
